Microphone Isolation Shield

Ambient and reflected sound can be a problem when recording acoustic and vocal tracks, especially in a "live" studio environment. Block unwanted sounds from entering your microphone by using this Microphone Isolation Shield from Monoprice!

This acoustic shield features an acoustic foam front and a vented metal back plate, which allows the microphone to "breathe" and prevents reflections within the arc of the shield. It uses a dual clamp mounting bracket, which attaches to booms or stands up to 1 1/4" in diameter. The two outer panels can be folded inward for storage or for creating a tighter acoustic isolation chamber.

The shield features a standard 3/8" microphone threaded mount and includes a 3/8" to 5/8" thread adapter. The shield can be used in a normal upright orientation or can be inverted, so that the microphone hangs down inside the chamber. All assembly and mounting hardware is included.

When folded for storage the shield measures about 17.3" x 15.4" x 5.5". When extended for use it measures about 23.5" x 15.4" x 11.0".

This isolation shield is made well. For the price I was actually expecting lesser quality, but this thing blows away the isolation shield that is for sale at my local music store. In quality and price alone (by about $40).

PROS: No cheap materials used covers a lot of space for isolation looks clean and sharp does its job well even comes with the tools if you don't have them

First off. I do really love this product. I gave it a five, but it could have been a four, because the overall weight is significant and might be too heavy for mounting on a lesser quality stand. With that said, if you have the hardware to handle the weight, get this. The all metal construction is what makes it heavy, but it's also what makes it bullet-proof. The four feet make it nearly perfect for a podcaster who works from a desk. I use it in my home studio, but I have some really heavy duty stands and booms that can bear the weight. It does a great job isolating the mic from ambient room effects.. The side panels are adjustable so you can make the sound as intimate as you need. There is a bit of trouble tightening the side panels so that they don't tend to move, but that is a minor complaint. Also, since the desk feet are part of the tightening system for the side panels, they can't be removed to reduce weight.

PROS: Good isolation Side panels are adjustable Folds for easier storage Solidly built

Waited a good couple of months for this Mic isolation shield to get restocked and after checking out the flimsy all plastic shield at Guitar Center for $99.00 I just knew this was the way to go. It's all metal so forget about mounting it on a mic stand, even with sandbags and look into a 10ft heavy duty photographic light stand instead. For about the same amount of money as a decent mic stand the light stand I mounted it on is perfect, the setup up is solid as a rock. The only Con was the thread on one of the bottom legs was stripped, you'd tighten it and it would just pop loose so keep that in mind, but there was just enough of the bolt available to attach a nut to it and in my case it's fine. You can, for around $275.00 get a better shield but for the construction and the price you can't beat this one in my opinion. Another great deal from Monoprice.

PROS: All metal, solid construction, easy to assemble

CONS: Threaded hole on one of the legs was stripped, won't tighten securely.

I must say, I was blown away by the build quality of this isolation shield. I want to say "at this price", but that would be misleading, as there is nothing "low price" about it - It's well-made, effective, and looks great in my studio. As others have said, the description is misleading when it mentions mounting it to a mic stand - it's too heavy for that, and it's obvious that the brackets were designed to mount to a pole of a larger diameter, like a speaker stand - and that's exactly what I used, which was perfect.. Bottom line: my musician friends can't believe what I paid for this isolation mount, and have asked me to send them a link!

PROS: Very well made and nice looking

CONS: None, really, except that the product description copy needs to be edited.

This isolation shield really does what it's supposed to. When I got it, I did a little test where I recorded a short section of a song with guitar, banjo, upright bass and a vocal, and then recorded it again using the shield. Noticeable improvement all around (this was a home recording in a basically untreated room). Then I took it into my professional studio and used it for an acoustic guitar/vocal recording to try to get better separation on the two mics - it worked well for that as well.

Unfortunately, the shield is very heavy, as noted in other reviews. On its own that's not a huge problem, but when you put it on a stand, you'll notice that because the bracket attaches to the back of the shield, the whole thing wants to tip forward. If you use the extender arm for your microphone, the problem gets worse - everything's unbalanced in the same direction. So I decided to modify mine - I removed the bracket, used a razor blade to cut out a little bit of the foam in the middle of the shield (exactly opposite where the bracket attaches in the back), and re-attached the bracket inside the shield. Now, when I attach it to the stand, it balances much better. I've decided to forego the use of the microphone arm and just use the shield on its own dedicated mic stand (the microphone is on a separate stand). Much easier to move around, place where you want it, etc. I use a straight (no boom) tripod mic stand for the shield and a boom stand for the mic. Hope this helps you!

For the past 20 years I have recorded my radio shows, audiobooks and voice-overs from my studio in a 115 year old farmhouse. The angles and materials in the upper floor make for good sound-absorption, but this unit gives me a bit more of an "edge" and is easier to use that placing large acoustic panels around me. ( I may use BOTH for even better isolation!)

The unit also looks nice, which is important when using promotional photos or when the press comes to visit.

Great price, fast shipping!

PROS: Well crafted quality finish. And, it does work as a shield, of course!

This is basic physics, folks. Trying to hold this thing up with ANY mic stand short of a hundred-dollar Atlas is guaranteed to end in disaster. It's too heavy and the clamp doesn't really go down to mic stand diameter. On the other hand, try it on a tripod SPEAKER stand and it's a whole new ball game. It becomes obvious instantly that the clamp is made for a 1-1/2" - ish shaft. It tightens right up and the whole thing is rock-solid. The marketing genius who decided to claim it would work on a mic stand should be forced to sit on the floor next to one mounted that way without a helmet while it's in use. I should add though, that anyone who can unpack one of these, lift it up and think for one second that it will be safe and stable on their $12 mic stand deserves what they get when the whole thing falls over onto?…let's just hope it's not TOO expensive.

Standing it on a table with the feet works, though it would seem that the reflection from the surface would be a problem - a boundary PZM or such might work well though. I haven't tried it personally.

Tempted as I was to rate this poorly because of the mic stand claim, I'm giving it a 10 because of the build quality and because it really does work PERFECTLY on a speaker stand. Use it that way and you'll agree.

PROS: Effective, well built I got it on sale for fifty bucks which makes it even better!

wow! this thing costs a lot more in some of the mags i see them in. such a necessity for my studio. i can't tell you how glad i am to have made this purchase. if you mount it. use a speaker stand, not a mic stand. i see two for the price of one on monoprice's website. ill be getting them eventually. along with 500 passives and the 1000 watt mixer. eventually. but for now, i just set it on a laptop stand. as far as performance, iso, iso, iso! like I'm in a padded box! my pro tools loves it. i use monoprice mic and pop filter in conjunction. BAM! love this thing.

PROS: i think its amazing and the price is just crazy low. buy into monoprice and you will see, that it is not just cheap stuff, but rather quality stuff at very low prices. unheard of. thank you monoprice!

This is a great unit to isolate background noise from a microphone setup. It is very sturdy and works like a charm. However, it's also very heavy, and was too heavy for both of the stands I had, one with a boom, and one without. I'm not sure monoprice even sells something that can support this. I'm currently using it on a desk with the mic dropping in from above vertically on a boom.

This vocal isolation shield was my first purchase from Monoprice, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The all-metal construction (save for the foam) seems very sturdy and will no doubt last for years. The only downside is that it's so heavy, I had to buy a heavier mic stand to hold it up! The attachment clamps on the shield will hold up to a 1 and 3/8" tube, so you could even use it with a 1 3/8" speaker stand if you so choose. Of course, it doesn't just look greatit also does a great job of taming room reflections, especially in untreated or poorly-treated acoustic spaces.

PROS: Very heavy duty, solid construction, and includes feet for desktop use. It also uses two attachment clamps that attach to a vertical tube of a stand, instead of just attaching to the threaded top of a mic stand. The price is also unbeatable.

I purchased this for students in my Film class to use for voiceovers/ADR. It works extremely well. It works well on a table top or can be easily mounted to a light stand/tripod and is very portable. Several students have won awards for work they've created using this product, the results are fantastic.

I've seen more of these pop up from other manufacturers lately, but they're not as well made, cost more, and are usually smaller in size. The Monoprice version is the best option by far.

Haven't really used it yet to determine the sonic quality [i.e. whether it blocks enough outside noise. The 8 rating is because it broke the boom arm! You can of course, order a new arm. I have the stand weighted down at the base with two 10 lb weights, which keeps it standing. Not ready to take a shot with my ribbon microphone yet! It is, however staying in place. But, having said that, it's not a flimsy device, which is more than cool. You will want to eventually get a really heavy duty stand. Now, the other thing is that the pads initially did not keep the thing in place. It kept slipping down, and it also kept pushing the stand down. My solution was to glue the pads back onto the unit, and put the end piece from the broken boom arm onto the top of the stand. it's not as tall anymore, so to sort out the means of making it close to my height for vocals, I had to place a book underneath. This will have to work until I can swing a really industrial heavy weight stand. BUT, having said that, that will more than likely be the case of any device like this. Monoprice is great at bringing great products at affordable prices for the rest of us until we create budgets for the name brands. But the thing is, their devices work just as well, and in some cases better proving that value and performance doesn't require refinancing the house just so that you can afford the tools you require to realize your vision.

PROS: REALLY SOLID CONSTRUCTION.

CONS: Heavy. Broke the boom arm off of a stainless steel mic stand, so those cheap ones from the music stores may bite the dust if you try to use one of them. Pads on this thing kept coming off. Basically bought some Gorilla Glue and glued them back on. It is VERY heavy, so it kept sliding down. It also kept pushing the STAND down. Still, imho, you WANT heavy construction, as it will no doubt last much longer.

PROS: Lighter than the "leading brand" but heavy enough to make you put extra weight on the base of your stand. Dropping a high end mic to the floor can ruin your day. I give it a 7 for overall effectiveness. I would have to give it a 9 or better for build quality. This is certainly no "foam on a stick" device. The price puts it in reach of even a modest spare room studio budget. Nice work, Monoprice.

CONS: It does not cut out quite as much of the noise as the high end filter does but it certainly helps.

This product is built great and is very heavy. The weight makes the mic stand bend but does not fall over. I like how heavy it is for the construct but would like it lighter for the mic stands. Would totally recommend this product to and home or professional studio.

Do not expect to use a monoprice mic stand for this, snapped it right in half. The threaded knobs came damaged because of poor packaging design. Sent it back, second one came the same way so I bent and banged at it with a hammer, put a bolt in there instead.

Build quality seems solid, unfortunately item was shipped without microphone mount attachment. Talked with a representative and unfortunately they cannot replace/send individual parts, in this case the tube and steel track sheet, which I would've thought would be an easy and cheaper solution for them. They did offer to replace the entire unit, but I need to use the isolation shield soon and the process time would have taken too long (7-14 business days), plus it would be a big hassle to try and repackage and send this thing back..as others have said, it is really heavy duty. I'll just have to use/place an extra mic stand, which is ok, just a lot less convenient/stream lined.

I was on the fence between 2 and 3 stars, but other than the missing pieces, this is a very solid feeling product and very inexpensive for what it does.

Also, again, this is a fairly heavy isolation shield, and as another user suggested, I would mount this to something more like a speaker stand than a mic stand for stability.
